Solar Punched Lantern for Porch, Patio or Garden

A fun take on Early American punched tin lanterns

Solar-powered; LED light inside creates a soft glow

Place in full sun to charge

Save when you buy the set of 3

Our version of this American classic punched tin lantern is made with a weatherproof material dyed to
resemble aged bronze and perforated in a decorative flower pattern. Inside, one LED light
provides a soft glow, powered by a solar panel on top. Folds flat for easy storage.

My lanterns line the front pathway, they are subtle and delicate. Neighbors love them too.I bought a total of 7. One of them never worked, one stopped after a couple of weeks. They were replaced for free, thank you. After one year only 3 still work. Not a good record. Even though I love the ones that still work I'm hesitant replacing the non-working ones.

None of the 3 lanterns would work. We finally opened them up and tested with different batteries. So I had to order new batteries because the ones that came with the lanterns would not take a charge at all. These must have sat on a shelf somewhere for years.

I purchased 2 of these several months ago and was disappointed when I discovered they were not punched metal, but a fabric shade over a wire frame. They've been hanging from our patio cover and always remain lit longer than other solar lights we have out there. When our power was out recently, I brought one in and set it in the bathroom. It provided enough light to navigate and remained lit all night. Since they are so lightweight, they are easy to hang just about anywhere and easy to bring indoors if needed. Although I was initially disappointed with what I got for the price, they work well and are very versatile. I still question the price considering the cost of the materials used in manufacturing them, but they do what they claim to do.

The picture in the magazine makes the lantern look better than it looks in person. The picture makes it look smooth, while in person it is crinkled. Honestly, I thought it was made out of tin from looking at the picture in the magazine. And, then I was surprised (not pleasantly) when I found out it was some form of fabric... for the price I paid especially.

Also, there were no color choices when ordering. I honestly thought I would be receiving a lantern that was a tin or darker color. But, instead it was more of a gold. And, then I looked back at the catalogue which actually names the one they send you bronze - it is not bronze.

The photograph in the catalog and the online image and description of the lantern are extremely misleading.

THIS IS A GREAT PRODUCT. WE HANG OUR THREE FROM OUR FANS IN THE COURT YARD. IT LIGHTS THE FLOOR OF THE WALK WAY ,AND QUITE A LARGE CIRCLE OF LIGHT IT IS. THE LIGHT COMING FROM OUT OF THE SIDES OF THE LANTERN IS VERY PRETTY IN ITSELF. IT"S BEEN LEFT OUT IN THE RAIN AND THE SUN AND HASN'T HARMED WHATEVER THE MATERIAL IS THAT THE LANTERN IN MADE OF. AHH, WE LIKE THEM ALOT.
